I have servlet classes (not in jar file) in folder, say, C:\abc\xyz. Can I tell servlet engine to invoke these servlets? I know some old containers such as WebSphere 3.x allow me to do this. But with modern containers (e.g. tomcat 4.x) we always have to have a WEB-INF\classes folder to store the servlet classes. Is this true?
Thanks.

You are correct - the loose rules about running servlets have been greatly tightened up for the current API. The idea being to create a uniform environment for web applications that is independent of a particular vendor.
